tabu backrest plastic 082 chair

Tabu chair by Eugeni Quitllet for Alias was one of the most breathtaking pieces of the last Milan Furniture fair, a perfect dynamic shape for a new chair's DNA. Tabu uses the most advanced technology available: that of nature, and another: that of man... the Robot, To shape the gifts of the earth to meet the needs of man. To plant an organically modified seed to create a chair... not so much a chair but a grain! A grain of the future. "To synthesize nature in order to naturalize industry... to recover the sense of Authenticity, Beauty and Goodness. Tabu is a metaphor of truth." says the Catalan designer.

The collection of chairs and side table designed by Eugeni Quitllet reinterprets the hand-crafted tradition. Presented in different versions, the basis of this project consists in joining different elements in solid ash wood, which are digitally operated and fit together.

The version presenting a Plexiglass backrest is quite innovative and unique in the ambit of wood chair production. Two quite different materials, wood with its natural connotations, and transparent polymer, fruit of technological research, come together to give life to a metaphysical object.

Tabu comes in 5 different versions from full back rest to occasional table. It is digitally carved in plain wood. Tabu is offered in ash, natural or dark stained oak, walnut or with a more contemporary stain finish in 12 trendy colors.
